Jaworski has been rolling tape of Winfield getting torched in the pre season to explain why our nickel coverage is suspect. When Jaws finally settles on the knob he wished to slobber on, he does not mess around making sure the recipient, in this case manning, is fully satisfied.

Here's the context: he and Hoge were giving each other back rubs on NFL Matchup and getting all excited over a couple of cherry-picked clips from the Indy and Houston games. If you saw those clips, you'd think Earl and Sherm were awful. And, of course, these were the ones used as evidence that Manning was going to carve up the LOB.

They even mentioned that Manning would challenge Sherm often because of the Ducks comment. (Manning won't do that because he's not an idiot.)

And, of course they picked Denver. I don't have a problem with the picks, but if they based their analysis on what happened five months ago, then they are idiots.

ESPN is fast turning into the poster child of bad analysis. Dilfer was showing footage of Maragos and some other backups getting beat for a TD pass while leading 41-13 over the Vikings. He provided no context, but was sure to say Manning would be taking advantage of that look from our D.

I have seen so little "expert" analysis of the Wilson/Bronco D that it makes me wonder if our 8th ranked scoring team will even be allowed on the football field.

How did 5000 yards thrower Drew Brees carve us again? Didn't he have like 34 yards at half time (or something like that)? Yea, Drew threw a little more in the second half, but was lucky we missed 2 clear INTs. I don't have any doubt Manning will air it out, but how many of them will be picked up? Last time Manning was in SB, he had 1TD and 1 INT.

Kurt Warner. I can't stand listening to him. If it's not a backhanded compliment, it's the constant talk that Wilson is merely a game manager. Apparently he thinks real QB's are pocket passers only.

Dilfer. Dude has a serious case of the Butt Hurts. All those chants of "Hasselbeck! Hasselbeck! Hasselbeck!" must still ring through his chrome dome like it was yesterday.

Hoge. A pompous douche by nature, he seems to be allergic to picking Seattle for any reason whatsoever. Also see Cowhler.

Faulk. Maybe it's the old NFC West rivalry thing but he used to take shots and say things like, "Nobody pays attention to Seattle", or "Since when did anybody care about Seattle?" Although recently he's softened his tone and actually been complimentary.

Brian Billick. I've never understood what his problem was with the Seahawks but all of his analysis is always tinged with this general negative tone towards us. While I have seen him offer fair analysis, often times he will pick against the Seahawks with no real solid reason to do so...A classic sign of Anti-Seahawkism.

The Skip Baylesses of the world need no mention due to the obviousness.

Those Former Anti Seahawk Who Have Started To Come Around

Heath Evans. He used to have such a stick up his ass about the Seahawks it was clearly personal. Having played for us years ago. Now, he seems to be one of our most ardent supporters on NFL Network. I think he still sounds like a meathead, but I give him credit for looking past whatever slight he felt from his playing days with us and giving fair and honest analysis about our team, especially defensively.

Michael Irvin. Molded from the "I Was A SB, All-Pro Cowboy, Who The Hell Are The Seahawks And Why Are We Talking About Them?" mold, Irvin has become a bona-fide, card-carrying 12 it seems. He took a lot of heat last year and decided to get on the bandwagon going so far as wearing a Seahawks jersey and Hawk Head on camera. It's clear that his interviews with Wilson and the team has forced Irvin to see the light. Also, see: Deon Sanders.

There's others. Feel free to add to the list.

There are three certainties in life. Death, taxes and the perpetual shuffling of the Seattle Seahawks offensive line.

ESPN = Skip this channel when it comes to serious football talk. NFL Network = Very good insight from most players and coaches.

We are always going to have haters that can't separate themselves from there analysis.

I don't get all butt hurt about people and their opinions , because you know the saying "everyone has one".I would much rather people just talk us down and build up the Ponies. Then watch everyone eat crow at the end of the game.

The Majority of the media ive listened to has just assumed Manning will not be stopped and that our defense will struggle a lot against him. Thinking we only have Sherman and Thomas on D and nothing else and Manning can just pick apart the defense going against everyone else. That he will pick apart the cover 3 defense and that because we dont disguise our looks it will be easy for him to beat.

And then the other argument is underrating our offense. Talking about all Denver has to do is shut down Lynch and then we will struggle a ton to score any points. Having Harvin back will open alot of things up and I see Wilson being able to run alot more than he has been able to because I dont see the Denver LBs or DE doing a good job on containing him if they are worried about stopping Lynch as much as the media has made it out to be. I hope they realize we scored 23 points against the 49ers and Saints. Its not like we have been winning games 10-7 or something.

I know that pre-season pass rush was missing some major pieces too, it had two rookies (Mayowa,Hill) standing in for Clemons and a much improved McDonald. Tony McDaniel aslo was not available for that game and I think Tony McDaniel's ability to collapse the pocket with his length is also an underrated aspect to the Seahawks defense.

That's the maddening thing for me. It's not like we were in the bottom half of the league in scoring this season but for some reason the 22nd ranked Denver defense is more capable of shutting down the 8th ranked offense than the #1 defense is of shutting down the #1 offense?

Speaking specifically about Frisco Ron Jaworski, here's the thing guys especially as it relates to his attitude about Russ: He did a piece on Krapperdink this past offseason and slobbered all over the guy to the point that he said Colon could become one of the best 5 QBs EVER to play in the NFL. He forgot that about 75% of playing the position is about brains, likely cuz he didn't/doesn't have them, and now that Colon showed very little growth in his thought process including throwing THREE key interceptions in the NFCCG he's looking like the douche he is or maybe it just reminds him of his own failure in the Super Bowl. Furthermore, even with a bit of a slump the second half of this season, Russ has shown the traits that will likely lead him into the HOF, smarts to the point that he throws very few "bad" interceptions and a knack for making the big play when his team needs it most instead of making the bad play when his team needs him the most like Colon does.

This is the guy who's always going on and on about dumb shit like elbow angles and feet positioning and shoulder height and other dumb shit when it comes to throwing a football. Then he says KAP is going to be the greatest ever!? Hasn't he even SEEN Kap throw a football? His throwing motion looks like he's trying to hurl a turkey over a fence! THAT'S your g.o.a.t.?

Don't worry and get ready for the comedy that's going to come after this game is over. The excuses from ESPN will be FLOWING like the unstoppable Amazon. It will be glorious, and they will consist of:

1) The refs didn't call it right2) Everyone has a bad game3) Everyone gets lucky4) Wilson is random, this was one of his randomly good games5) Let's just ignore it, and not bring up all our predictions

Or they'll just blame it on Bennett knocking Manning out of the game in the 2nd series with a broken rib... Many a tear will be shed in donkey land tomorrow.

Oh, that made me laugh hard!

49ers webzone: Win or lose, i hope you injure Sherman. Like a serious career ending injury. I don't want him to get paid.49ers webzone: noise should not be the overwhelming reason a team is favored. they need to spray noise-damping foam onto the ceiling of that place.
